NORTH KOREA….. “PEACE IN OUR TIME”….BUT FOR WHOM?

          I’m going to take one more shot at the whole North Korea issue today and then I’m heading back to what matters in the short term. Iran and Israel.

          So, the “deal” is done? Even The Donald said it may or may not work, but he thinks it will. Check! That is what just took place. He placed a check next to that campaign promise. All the talk is over, “will it work or not? Can we trust the North Koreans”? As usual, US politics seem to be more important than finding a true answer to the issue. The internal politics of the US bores me, so I want to press this issue with a true warning. This was a Chess move and the person making the “move” was not from North Korea.

Goals:

          Back to something I have said time and time again. What is the goal of the Chinese? Answer; the reduction of Western / US / military leverage in the region / South China Sea and ultimately, the Pacific. The dream of the new Chinese Empire has been in the making for over fifty years. Xi’s now openly talks of the new day. The day when China controls the world in economic trade. The day when the world follows China’s lead. In the mind of Xi, that day is hear. Who is North Korea in the world of China? At first, they were a gateway for invasion. A gateway they could not allow anyone to hold. Next, they became the Buffer Zone! Then they were formed into what they have remained for over fifty years; a rabid dog on a short leash. A wild animal held in the face of the West to buy time; time for China to build it’s might so that one day, they could stand in front of the West and no longer need the wild dog! Folks; if this deal is truly “done”, then we better be worried far more than most think. If the Dragon no longer needs the little wild dog, then it must believe it’s time has come. The Dragon is ready. Xi is ready.  Power projection is now possible. China can defend or attack. It can do so in ways the rest of the world is not prepared for. Xi says, “ It is our time now”! Does that explain letting the rabid dog be put to sleep?   Did this deal go through? Is it for real? Those that say they hope so need to be very…..very….careful in what they “hope” for!
